I enjoyed the full privacy of the pod, and having a locker to store valuables (it was small but done the job). I would stay again

“Loved it. Would come back anytime.”
I liked that I got upgraded to a king size capsule - which I loved. I had such a great time staying at the Heart of Gold Hostel and my capsule. The location is great. There are enough full bathrooms on every floor (shower, toilet, sink) that you can lock individually. Great! You have a yard where you can lock your bike. A community kitchen and fridges to store your food. You get towels and sheets for free. And locks for a deposit.

“Stayed in a capsule for a night and would come back asap as felt right at home”
The staff were so cool, took time to answer everyone’s questions and were so friendly but serious when they needed to be.

“Good quality for price”
Good quality beds: capsules offer so much more privacy and are modern, with ventilation, light, hooks and a little shelf and mirror inside. Amazing breakfast that is 90% vegan!!! I highly support this decision against cruelty, a great small step towards a more compassionate world. They also have oat milk always readily available on the counter, during all times of the day.
